When looking for spiritual wisdom apart from the Inerrant Word of God, I look to the grave.
In particular, the wisdom of my parents and grandparents.
They went through a lot, they fought the good fight, and most importantly they always kept the faith.
The question then would be-
What influences were available to your (grand)parents?
I can assure Christian Virtue was more relevant in their day then it is now.
In the 1950s...a Bishop Fulton Sheen was one of the most popular celebrities in that time frame.
The Joe Rogan of their day...
How in the world could a Catholic Bishop gain so much notoriety?
His message always boiled down to Christ's Sacrifice on the Cross
and what that should mean for us.
Will self- help guru's and Navy Seal discipline allow these young men
to also find Salvation in Christ?
That's the point of this.
